have In my mind now two firms in business
that count their capital by the hundred thous
ands. They started some eighteen years age
on few hundred dollars. Both of these firms
had one idea in their business. that was: FIRST
to be straight dealing, square and alike to all
Secondly, doing the very best for all custom
omers, buying low and selling low, making q
little on everything they handled. Thirdly
the appearance of liberality. That Is the best
thing to learn in the business, and nothing
pays SO well. Now we speak for our towns.

The next thing Is, winter is holding on, civ.

their stock.
There is q vast amount Of building and nx.

One thing we lack-that is coal. We have
been waiting on Colby. but 1t is a starvation
look. or rather q freeze-out look. In place OF
getting q car now and then, could they NOT
get nifty? Coal can surely be had ii they try,
We can't see what this country win do IL We
,cn get coal. Colby could sell one hundred

ali the time and sell at q living price. 1t is to

hold It by fair means.

GREAT Is COG BIC.
Special Mention Made of North
western Mines by Mai. Powell.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-MaJ. John w.
Powell, director of the geological survey.
has furnished the following for publication:
The great increase in the production of pig
iron from H. 529. 500 short tons in 1885 to
5000, 600 short tons during the year 1886
has led to inquiry as to the source of the
ores which made this increase possible, tor
it is well known fact that even the ordi
nary production is drain upon the ore de-
posits sufficient to exhaust the present
sources of actual supply in short period,
perhaps in thirty years, more probably i'll
much less time. The government has
given sufficient attention to general geology
of the country, however, to afford a good
guess on the distribution of the ores, and
the geologists have also defined the charac-
ter of these ores so well as to direct the eX
plorers accurately to the profitable fields.
The statement was made last year by me
that within thirty years necessary explora-
ton for new iron ore mines would exceed
that of Great Britain, where every availa-
BILE deposit is being traced to its farthest
extremities. The years 1885 and 1886 have
shown the justice Of this prediction in the
development of new fields to support in
creased production. This new Gogebic dis
trict, which produced 1,022 tons in 1884,
increased to Ill. .661 tons in 1885, and
INCREASED THIS FoUR-FoLD
in 1886. has been the scene Of unparalleled
Developments and the same is true of the
Vermllion district of Minnesota. The
confidence with which capital has been in
vested in these new claims is due to the
advice Of the geologists to extend the mines
in this direction. That the new mines are
the result, and not the cause, of increased
production of iron and steel. is shown by
the increased imports of Spanish ores dur
ing the last year as the result of
higher prices. This shows the
remedy for prospective exhaustion is still
further exploration for the menes to which
the geologists point in various parts of
the country. Many of the large deposits
have been neglected as not suitable for
making steel by ordinary acid processes
and in others the percentage Of iron is not
attractive, but much attention will un-
doubtedly be given those ores within the
next few years. This tendency is seen in
one locality i'll Tennessee by an increase
from n, 745 long tons in 1884 to "a, 567
long tons in 1885, and even the siliciouS
ores at Cornwall, Pa, show increased use.
